Odd and The Weird (Tactics)

[slasherdan]

How many of these tactics have you used in a game?

I probably lie to the enemy the most.

Lie to the enemy ... Lie to your teammates (trust me folks he's NEVER where he said he would be), and he lie's with the bushes ....

if it was water polo he be swimming with the fishes but that's different.

So YOU were the one who put fish in the pool.

Me .... Nah .... I'm a tad more deviant than that ...

VERBAL MISREPRESENTATION OF SIDES:

Is allowed. You are NOT required to tell the truth about which side you are playing for.


EXAMPLE: (Player 1 sees Player 2 in the bushes 20 yards in front of his position)
Player 1: "Hey, what color are you?"
Player 2: "I'm Red, what color are you?"
Player 1: "I'm Red too."
(Player 1 then steps out from behind cover and gets marked by Player 2.)
Player 1: "Hey buddy! You said you were Red!!!"
Player 2: "I lied...."
Player 1: "Good shot. Man, I should have read the rules of play better... they told me not to always trust what I hear. I should have gotten a visual on your arm band tape."

Moral of the Story: If they are not wearing your color arm band tape, consider them the opposition, or at the minimum, be leery of them. Always use caution until you get a visual ID on their ABT. As in the real world (a real world conflict) seeing is believing, or, believe half of what you see and a third of what you hear. Not everything is always as it appears in a scenario game.

Please check the following site for the number of producers and fields using these rules. They are pretty widely accepted.

just type in scenariopaintball or GSRP in your search engine

I never said it wasn't allowed just kinda deceiving. And i'm sure the player getting hit would respond like that

The guys I ussually get with it laugh at how they should have checked visually. Most players are good sports, every once in a while you get a bad response, but by far most are not.

Deception was the goal for this tactic. Deceiving the OPFOR is always a good tactical choice. If he doesn't know what your doing or where your at, he's at a serious disadvantage. And we all know we are looking for any legal advantage we can get.

Heh. This past Saturday I was defending a corner of the city with another guy in a building. We had been successfully holding off the entire opfor trying to get in from the south, and west, for about an hour.

This kid, maybe 15, came walking up the road. He could see my head in the window, but didn't know what side I was on, so he was being extra cautious. I put my hand out the window and gave him the universal sign for "come quickly". He sprinted as hard as he could towards our building, thinking we were on his side. Heh...

I was nice about it. I only let him get to within 30ft, before I placed a couple of rounds into him.

[Hyper]

eh eheh. That's good stuff.

[muttly]

Ruthless and real. Awesome

[sheevemasta]

I wonder why he was alone.

[thejudge]

my least favorite is when i shoot at someone and they say out, then walk somewher, start shooting again. when i ask them why they cheated they claimed they said "oww" not out. This still implies I hit them but apparently i need to keep shooting next time.

Well, this is a short list of some simple to do and weird/odd tactics that may come in handy. They are mostly rudimentary and are easy to do. Here you go.

-Mirror- A simple flat and sturdy mirror to help you look around corners. I think Auto Shops/Stores may sell some on a telescoping stick or something.

-Dirt Clots and Plastic Bottles- Simple, throw it somewhere you want the enemy to look. Make sure they don't see where it was thrown from and maybe have it land beside or behind them. Use it to start up an ambush perhaps. If you use rocks (you shouldn't), make sure to aim away from people. Sharp corners hurt!

-Lie- Yes, lie. In a Close Quarters Battle situation, yell "I'm out of ammo!" once or twice real loud and don't shoot for a bit. Keep an eye out for people that get close for an easy shot.

-Wind Chimes- You know those things that ring when the wind blows on them? Get some real cheap ones and hang them up before the Opposing Force arrives. People get real jumpy and this works especially well at night. You can perhaps set them up with a tripwire to make them ring, giving away their position. Just make sure you can find/get them back.

-Toilet Paper Rolls- This is my second favorite. Take a roll of toilet paper and unravel it to create a trail to an inconspicuous (not obvious) ambush spot. Even better, with those Scenario games that have treasure, have the toilet paper lead to one and lie in wait. You know what to do.

-Wave- Wave your hand at any place you think an ambush or where someone is at. It may sound silly, but its most likely the easiest of the things here. It may/will make the other person (if they are there and you aren't overly paranoid) fire upon you without a really good shot and reveal themselves. This may work better with a tinted visor/lens so they cannot tell where you are looking at.

One more thing, if you are caught in the open, you may act like a ninja to make them laugh and throw off their aim. Anything funny will do. I know from experience. This person held up a Konoha headband (from the anime Naruto) and yelled out, "I'm Mother F*#&^!g Naruto!" several times. It worked; bottom line. Then again, it may be because he was in a ninja costume complete with fishnet. Well, thats all for now. Tell me more if you can!

here's another. carry a pocket audiocassette recorder with you that has the firing sounds of an intense paintball fight on it. have some dead air before it set it to play and use that time to get into another position (i.e. on the other side of the opponents) when they turn away exposing their backs take advantage of the oppurtunity.

Ok, something interesting to use. This has to do with the mirror idea, so here is a link. Enjoy: http://icub4ucme.com/home.html Oh, one more thing; you guys might consider trying to sell this in the shopp. Maybe.

[SKRALOGY]

Here's one I hate, and believe to be illegal (not sure tho). I seen players pretend to be out. They start walking off field and when asked if out they reply out. Then once behind the opposition they start shooting.

I have done that but i never called myself out or held my gun in the air, I just casually strolled up behind them and they figured I was out.
